What’s for Dinner Tonight? Meatless Mondays!

What are you having for dinner tonight? There’s a movement sweeping the nation – Meatless Mondays! The goal of the Meatless Mondays campaign is “to help you reduce your meat consumption by 15% in order to improve your personal health and the health of the planet.” While for some an occasional or frequent vegetarian meal may be the norm, for many Americans the thought of an evening meal without meat is absolutely mind-boggling. Some may have concerns about providing enough nutrients for their families or even how to cook a healthy, meatless meal. There are a multitude of high-nutrient, delicious recipes available.
